the Cool Girl is Something Wild who will Lose Control while Still Falling For You

It’s happening. Summer is almost over. Only a week left before the kids start back to school. Somebody please oh please find that pause button!

Meanwhile, it’s Monday, and Monday is always made better with music, don’t you think? This week is a freebie week, so feel free to grab your favorite tune(s) and dance along, won’t you?

Let’s start with a (new to me) Swedish artist whose song was inspired by a monologue scene from the 2014 film Gone Girl involving its titular character played by Rosamund Pike. The artist said that she wrote the song pretty much after seeing the movie, in the moment where the character goes from being a victim to a psycho.

The artist was quoted as saying:

“When you create, you try to get out of your safe zone. It’s okay to be upset or depressed. You’ll pick yourself back up. We shouldn’t be so scared of our emotions… You think you want someone who doesn’t want you, or you want someone who isn’t fazed by anything you do.

Really we all just want full on, real love. Making the other person insecure is kind of stupid when you like someone. It takes more courage to have an open heart – that’s what I’m trying to say, but it’s sarcastic. It’s like the opposite song!”

Next up is a brand new song out that you need to hear. Two of my favorite performers teamed up for a beautiful new song they wrote for Disney’s new movie, Pete’s Dragon, a remake of the 1977 film of the same name. The updated movie hit theaters on August 12th (Princess Nagger has been nagging me to go see it – we’ll have to do that soon).

One of the artists was approached by Disney to compose a song for Pete’s Dragon. She and the other artist watched the film and then wrote this song that same day. Disney ended up liking the song, and it plays over the ending credits of the movie.

With every new album, these rockers get closer and closer to a total pop music crossover. The BC foursome continue to evolve with their sound, and their latest album is another step towards taking chances in the studio and watching them pay off.

Making their own version of Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off, the band is flanked by a group of professional female dancers who show off their ballet moves and impressive flexibility, sometimes even using the band members as props.

Last, but not least, is an artist who in recent days unveiled the new music video for her newest single. The song is featured in the music soundtrack for the upcoming film, Bridget Jones’s Baby, with the music video providing a glimpse into Bridget Jones’s Baby.

In the clip, the artist stands in front of a screen and sings while parts of the movie roll behind her. For the third Bridget Jones installment, the film chronicles Jones (portrayed by Renée Zellweger) in the aftermath of her breakup with Mark Darcy (played by Colin Firth). She becomes enamored by a new American character (played by Patrick Dempsey), but then Darcy comes back into the picture. Jones discovers she’s pregnant, but is unsure who may be the father.

The artist’s song is out now. Bridget Jones’s Baby premieres on September 16th. I’m looking forward to it!

About StacyUncorked

After 20+ years in the Corporate World and years of infertility, Stacy was surprised when Princess Nagger made her miraculous appearance - deciding to forgo the career and stay home was a no-brainer. As if her hands weren't full enough, 8 years later she and her husband added Little Dude through adoption, adding a whole new dimension (of crazy) to their family and even more sleepless nights.
When she’s not refereeing kids, dogs and cats, she loves to write, hence the reason she decided to start her little blog, and because she never got a baby book to mark milestones, this was the next best thing. She also enjoys doing reviews and giveaways for products she or her family would willingly use and can stand behind.
She loves to cook and try new techniques to turn ordinary into extraordinary. Crafty by nature, she takes on a lot of unique projects and enjoy seeing the end result. Her favorite, of course, is making her award winning wine out of fruits and grapes. Experiments with water currently underway.

Hello hello! It’s Monday already! I know, I know! Monday is the dreaded start to a week for the most part, except that Monday means music, so there’s some redemption, right? Thanks for being patient with me as I get … Continue reading →

Yes, the ship has sailed, Joyce…with the pause button on it! 😀 Wow! You guys have been in school for a month already? I’d be missing summer since the crack of August, too! Thanks for stopping by to dance with me! 🙂

Stacy, I really enjoyed your music selection this week. You brought all new-to-me tunes to my ear. I think my favorite is “Something Wild” from Pete’s Dragon, but I’m a Lindsey Stirling fan and maybe that’s why I like it so much. The next one I liked is Hedley, “Lose Control”. Have a dancetastic week, my friend and thanks for hosting the best music party on the net!

The “Something Wild” song is definitely my favorite, too – I’m a Lindsey Stirling fan big time – I remember following her after she started following me on Twitter (that’s how I ‘discovered’ her) and look at her now! I will buy any CD she makes! 😀 Hedley is a newer discovery for me, too – I’m glad you like it! Thanks for dancing along with me! 🙂

Stacy, I’m not sure what’s going on. I left a comment and it’s not showing. Hopefully my original got logged on your Admin side and will pop up. If it doesn’t then know that I was here and I enjoyed all of your new-to-me music picks. My favorite being “Something Wild” from Pete’s Dragon followed by Hedley’s “Lose Control”. Keep dancing my friend!

No worries, my friend – I’ve got your back. It seems Askimet is getting a wee bit extra aggressive with an influx of spam comments, and yours got swept up into the tidal wave. You’re cleared for landing now, though… 😉 Thanks for bringing it to my attention – which reminds me, it’s time to check the spam folder again, in case more legit comments got swept up in the raid! 😉

No stealing!

Whatcha looking for?
